Why Brand Choice and Local Access Matter to Patients.

When it comes to healthcare, one size does not fit all. Patients depend on medical equipment and supplies that meet their specific health needs, preferences, and comfort levels. That’s why protecting brand choice and local access is so important.

With the proposed changes to Medicare’s Competitive Bidding Program (CBP), patients may lose the ability to choose the brands and suppliers that work best for them. Here’s why that matters.

Every Brand Is Different—And So Are Patients
Medical equipment and supplies are not interchangeable. Small differences in design, size, or function can have a big impact on patient outcomes.

Diabetes Care: Some patients respond better to certain continuous glucose monitors or insulin pumps. Limiting brand choice could make it harder to manage blood sugar safely and comfortably.

Compression Therapy: The right fit, fabric, or brand can mean the difference between relief and daily discomfort.

Ostomy and Urological Supplies: Products vary in how they protect skin, prevent infection, and promote recovery. Patients often rely on specific brands their doctors know and trust.

Restricting access means patients may be forced into “whatever is covered,” even if it’s not what works for their condition.

What You Can Do
Patients and providers have the power to speak up. CMS is currently accepting comments on these proposed changes—but the deadline is August 29, 2025.

👉 Submit your comment here:

Every voice matters. By sharing your experience, you can help protect brand choice, preserve local access, and ensure patients get the care they deserve.

Your Care. Your Choice. Your Voice.

Your Story Matters: How to Tell CMS Your Experience – A Step-by-Step Guide

When it comes to healthcare, no one knows the challenges better than the people living them every day. That’s why the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is asking for public comments on proposed changes to the Competitive Bidding Program (CBP).

These changes could affect your access to medical supplies, your choice of providers, and the quality of care you receive. Sharing your story is one of the most powerful ways to make sure your voice is heard.

Here’s how to do it.

Why Your Comment Matters
CMS uses public comments to understand the real-world impact of their decisions. Numbers and data only go so far—but your story shows the human side of healthcare policy.

Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, family member, or healthcare provider, your perspective helps shape how these rules are finalized.

What to Include in Your Comment
Think about how these changes could affect your care or your loved ones. You can share:

Your personal experience – Describe how access, affordability, or support has helped or hurt you in the past.

Your concerns – Explain what worries you most about reduced choice or access to supplies.

Your perspective as a caregiver or provider – Highlight the challenges you face in supporting patients.

Your comment doesn’t have to be long or technical—it just needs to be honest.

Step-by-Step: How to Submit Your Comment

1. Go to the Medicare comment page.

2. Click the green box that says “Submit a Public Comment.”

3. Write your comment in the text box – or upload a file in the “+ Add a File” green box.

4. Under “Tell Us About Yourself,” choose either “An Individual” or “Anonymous.”

5. Check the box confirming you’ve read and understand the statement.

6. Click “Submit Comment.”

That’s it! It only takes a few minutes, but your voice could make a lasting difference.

Final Thoughts
Every story matters. Every voice counts. By speaking up, you’re helping protect access, choice, and care for yourself and millions of others.

Your Care. Your Choice. Your Voice.

08/22/2025

When it comes to your health, having reliable access to the supplies and equipment you need is essential. But right now, changes being proposed by Medicare could make that harder through something called the Competitive Bidding Program (CBP).

So, what is it—and why does it matter to you? Let’s break it down.

What is Competitive Bidding?
Normally, Medicare pays suppliers (the companies that provide you with medical equipment and supplies) a set amount for certain items. With competitive bidding, suppliers are asked to “bid” against each other to win contracts. The lowest bids often set the prices.

At first, this might sound like a good idea—lower prices for Medicare. But here’s the catch:

Fewer suppliers win contracts.

Patients have fewer choices of who to work with.

Lower payments can mean suppliers can’t afford to keep offering the same level of service.

Why Does It Matter to You?
If these new rules go into effect, here’s what it could mean for patients, caregivers, and facilities:

Less Choice – Instead of being able to pick the supplier you trust, you may only be able to use the one Medicare contracted.

Access Delays – Fewer suppliers could mean longer wait times to get your supplies or equipment.

Reduced Services – With lower payments, suppliers may not be able to provide the same support, education, or personal care.

New Product Categories – Items like insulin pumps and glucose monitors could be affected, making it harder for people managing diabetes to get what they need.

Why Speaking Up Matters
Your voice is powerful. Medicare is asking for public feedback before finalizing these changes, and comments are open until August 29th, 2025.

How You Can Take Action

1. Go to the Medicare comment page.

2. Click “Submit a Public Comment.”

3. Write your comment (or upload a file).

4. Choose “An Individual” or “Anonymous” under “Tell Us About Yourself.”

5. Check the confirmation box.

6. Click Submit Comment.

Competitive bidding may save money on paper, but it comes at a cost to patients and caregivers. It can limit choices, create barriers to access, and reduce the level of care you depend on.

Long days in the sun are one of the best parts of summer—but they can also take a toll on your skin. From sunburn and heat rashes to dryness and irritation, your skin might be sending out an SOS.

☀️ Common Summer Skin Stressors
Warm-weather skin issues can sneak up on even the most careful sun-lovers. Here are a few common culprits:

Sunburns from prolonged UV exposure

Heat rashes caused by sweat and humidity

Dryness or flaking from salt water, chlorine, or air conditioning

Irritation from bug bites or allergens

🧴 Top Tips for Soothing Summer Skin
Whether you're recovering from too much sun or trying to prevent future flare-ups, these skin care steps can help:

1. Cool It Down
Apply cold compresses, hydrating mists, or after-sun gels with ingredients like aloe vera or menthol to instantly calm overheated skin.

2. Hydrate Inside & Out
Drink plenty of water and use gentle moisturizers that lock in hydration without clogging pores. Look for formulas with hyaluronic acid or ceramides.

3. Treat Gently
Avoid harsh scrubs or chemical exfoliants on sun-stressed skin. Instead, use soothing cleansers and fragrance-free lotions to avoid further irritation.

4. Protect What's Healing
Use lightweight, non-comedogenic SPF every day—even if you're not heading to the beach. Sun-exposed skin is more vulnerable and needs daily protection to heal properly.

5. Target Irritated Areas
Try barrier creams or skin repair ointments on dry, flaky, or cracked spots. For itchy or inflamed areas, look for products with colloidal oatmeal or hydrocortisone (when appropriate).

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of dehydration—and for many patients, this can lead to more than just thirst. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, recovering from surgery, or supporting a loved one in their care journey, staying hydrated is essential for healing, comfort, and overall wellness.

🚰 Why Hydration Is So Important
Water plays a critical role in nearly every system in the body. It:

- Supports wound healing
- Promotes healthy bladder function
- Improves circulation and digestion
- Helps manage swelling in conditions like lymphedema
- Keeps skin supple
- Affects medication absorption and temperature regulation

☀️ 6 Hydration Tips for Hot Weather
1. Sip All Day, Don’t Wait for Thirst
By the time you feel thirsty, you may already be mildly dehydrated. Keep a bottle with you and drink water regularly throughout the day.

2. Add Hydrating Foods
Fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber, oranges, and strawberries are full of water and make excellent snacks.

3. Be Mindful with Diuretics
Coffee, soda, and alcohol can pull water from your body. Limit these in extreme heat or increase water intake to compensate.

4. Track Intake If Needed
If you or your loved one struggles to stay hydrated, use a journal or hydration app to track daily fluid goals.

5. Use Electrolyte Boosters Safely
For those prone to excessive sweating or using compression garments, electrolyte-enhanced drinks (with low sugar) can support fluid balance—just check with your provider first.

6. Watch for Signs of Dehydration
Symptoms include dizziness, dry mouth, headache, and reduced urination. If any of these occur, increase fluid intake and rest in a cool area.

07/07/2025

July is UV Safety Month, a time to raise awareness about the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and to encourage healthy sun protection habits. While summer brings sunshine and warmth, it also brings increased exposure to UV rays that can lead to long-term skin damage, eye conditions, and heightened health risks—especially for individuals managing chronic wounds, sensitive skin, or post-surgical recovery.

Here are 6 Sun Safety Tips for Patients & Caregivers:

1. Use Sunscreen Daily
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to exposed skin, even on cloudy days. Reapply every 2 hours, or more often if sweating or swimming.

2. Cover Sensitive Areas
Healing wounds, incision sites, and areas affected by skin conditions should be kept covered and shielded from direct sun. Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics or approved dressings that protect without trapping heat.

3. Wear Protective Clothing & Sunglasses
Long sleeves, wide-brim hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses add an extra layer of protection. If you wear compression garments, avoid direct sun exposure as the fabric can trap heat.

4. Stay Hydrated
Sun exposure can lead to dehydration, which affects your body’s ability to heal. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

5. Time Your Outdoor Activities
UV rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. When possible, plan outdoor activities for early morning or evening hours.

6. Watch for Skin Changes
If you notice new irritation, blistering, or changes in wound appearance after sun exposure, contact your healthcare provider. Early intervention is key.

Summer is a time to reconnect, recharge, and explore—but for those managing medical needs, travel can bring added concerns. Whether you’re preparing for a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, having the right plan for your medical supplies can make all the difference in your comfort and confidence on the road.

✈️ 6 Tips for Traveling with Medical Supplies
1. Plan Ahead & Pack Extras
Bring more than you need. Delays, spills, or last-minute changes can happen, so pack at least 3–5 days of extra supplies just in case. Consider organizing items by day in labeled pouches or containers.

2. Keep Essentials with You
Always pack critical supplies in your carry-on, especially items like catheters, wound care dressings, incontinence products, diabetic supplies, or medications. Checked luggage can be lost or delayed.

3. Use a Travel-Ready Medical Kit
Create a compact kit with:
- Gloves and hand sanitizer
- Wipes and barrier creams
- Spare bandages or dressings
- Emergency contact info and prescription list
- A small cooler pack if needed for temperature-sensitive items

4. Know the TSA Guidelines
If flying, TSA allows medical liquids, syringes, and mobility aids in carry-ons. You can request a private screening if needed. Visit tsa.gov/travel/special-procedures for up-to-date info.

5. Maintain Your Routine
Stick to your daily schedule as much as possible—especially for wound care, compression wear, or diabetes management. If needed, set phone reminders to stay on track while traveling.

6. Locate Nearby Pharmacies or Supply Options
Before you go, check where the nearest pharmacy or durable medical supply provider is located at your destination, just in case.

Our team at Prism is here to assist with questions about your coverage, supply options, or how to ensure you’re fully equipped for your next trip.

Summer is a season filled with sunshine, travel plans, and outdoor fun—but for those managing urinary incontinence, it can also bring unique challenges. From higher temperatures to longer days away from home, staying comfortable and confident takes a bit of extra planning.

Urinary incontinence is more common than many people realize, affecting both men and women of all ages. Whether it’s stress-related leaks, urgency, or overflow incontinence, it’s nothing to be embarrassed about—and it’s certainly not something you have to navigate alone.

☀️ Summer Tips for Managing Incontinence
1. Stay Hydrated (the Smart Way)
It may seem counterintuitive, but limiting fluids too much can actually make incontinence worse. Instead, sip water consistently throughout the day and limit bladder irritants like caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated beverages.

2. Choose Breathable, Comfortable Products
Look for moisture-wicking and discreet incontinence wear that provides both protection and comfort during warmer weather. Breathable materials can help reduce skin irritation caused by heat and humidity.

3. Be Prepared On-the-Go
Keep a small travel kit with a few extra incontinence pads, wipes, and a change of clothing when heading out for the day. This simple step can make outings feel more relaxed and worry-free.

4. Protect Your Skin
Frequent exposure to moisture can lead to skin irritation or breakdown. Using barrier creams and gentle cleansers can help maintain healthy skin and prevent discomfort.

5. Talk to Your Healthcare Provider
If your symptoms change or become more frequent, don’t hesitate to speak with your provider. There may be additional treatment options or therapies available to support your needs.

Starting as a one man operation, Founder & President, Chris Cartwright has taken PRISM to astonishing and unanticipated heights. When moving to Elkin, NC in 2006, Cartwright did not want to settle for just an ordinary job. He wanted to establish himself in the community and build something with a greater purpose. Knowing that he wanted to help people, he found himself researching the specialty medical supply industry (medical products, wound care, ostomy and urological supplies).

He soon learned that this was a niche market and that he had a knack for understanding and empathizing with the patient and their needs. Gathering more information and purchasing some products, he loaded up his car and began to service the local market. While talking to different clinicians, hospitals and people in the area, he began to establish himself, and PRISM, as the place to go for specialty medical supplies. Since then, the PRISM Team has been building a rapidly growing reputation of excellence from our dedicated service to patients and health care professionals.

We now have 9 distribution centers across the United States and over 200 employees. PRISM has also been accredited by the Joint Commission (JCO Standards) since 2008 and continues to be a proud member of the Better Business Bureau. With our Corporate Office still located in the heart of downtown Elkin, we continue to thrive and mature. We are looking forward to continued growth, while maintaining the “one on one service” feel in relation to our patient and clinician needs.
